[Saba Sports News] Aaron Gordon recently shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram to his late brother, Drew, who tragically passed away in a car accident in Portland at the age of 31. In honor of Drew, Aaron got a new tattoo and expressed his enduring love and remembrance with the caption, “Big bruh lives thru me.”
Drew Gordon, like his younger brother Aaron, was a basketball player with brief stints in the NBA, playing for teams like the Nets and 76ers. He found success in Europe, particularly in France and Latvia. Drew’s pursuit of professional basketball inspired Aaron to follow in his footsteps.
Aaron Gordon, a lottery pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, played for the Magic for seven years before being traded to the Nuggets in 2021. He became a key player for the Nuggets and helped them win the 2023 NBA championship.
The coming months will be challenging for Aaron and his family as they cope with this immense loss. Drew played a mentor role for Aaron, and his absence will be deeply felt. For now, Aaron will focus on himself and his family, with basketball understandably taking a back seat.
